what a great time! I broke my own rule never to stand in line for autographs but Travis was truly all class. He thanked me for coming out and waiting on him! I took my DRN shirt and got Pastrana, Wyndham, Thain, Roncada and RC to sign it. RC seems like he would rather be having dinner. He wasn't arrogant by any means, just the true reluctant hero.
Langston was silky smooth on the 125 main. Fonseca actually made a valiant attempt afte crashing his brains out and losing it again in the whoops but that dude is Larocco's mini-me. He was riding like his life depended on it. I thought Patman was going to fly down there and choke Langston when he started saluting the crowd on the last three jumps. You had to wince but it was fanatastic seeing him celebrate after the race.
Larocket actually pulled the holeshot on the heat race and you could hear the crowd actually gasp. MC got him on the next turn and looked like his former self during that race. He ran through the whoops like they didn't exist. RC appeared to have some trouble figuring them out in his heat. On the 250 main it was a totaly different story. RC was Mr. Consistent from the start and never looked back. It looked like MC had not even run the track before, his timing was all off. Lusk made a great race for half the main. He was whipping RC's tail in the whoops but RC was railing the berms and never messed up. You gotta hand it to the kid, with rides like that NOBODY can say he didn't earn it. MC is still my hero, albeit a fallen one for the moment, but he got a spankin' Sat. night.
Congratulations, RC!
